    by Nccer

In addition, the creation of new power generation facilities will yield new job prospects for trained and skilled welders. Evolving technology creates more uses for welding in the workplace. For example, new methods are being developed to bond dissimilar materials and nonmetallic materials such as plastics, composites, and new alloys. Also, advances in laser beam and electron beam welding, new fluxes, and other new technologies and techniques all point to an increasing need for educated, skilled welders.

    This fifth edition of Welding Level One introduces the fundamentals of the welding trade. The four levels of this curriculum present an apprentice approach and will help you be knowledgeable, safe, and effective on the job.
